If you go to My Account > Payment History, you should see a record of your current subscription with a message like 'this subscription will auto-renew at the end of the term'. There's an option like Unsubscribe or Cancel which will stop it from auto-renewing.
I've been caught out by this myself more than once, and find it very annoying that you have to go to the effort of doing it every time you subscribe. It seems very scam-ish, and preys on unawareness and forgetfulness. Plus, if you have a 1-month subscription, why would you want to continue renewing it when you could get a discounted price for, say, a 3-month subscription? A simple reminder to renew if you WANT TO would more than suffice.
By the way, if you send them an e-mail about it, they should refund you if you really don't want the subscription. They did it for me before very quickly without any trouble.
